Adul assigned to supervise crowd control

Police General Adul Saengsingkaew, seen as close to the Democrats, has been assigned to take charge of crowd control in the face of the political volatility.
Adul, deputy national police chief seconded to lead the Office of Narcotics Control Board, is to assume an extra responsibility for security affairs in the Royal Thai Police, as per the order issued by national police chief General Priewpan Damapong on Wednesday.
Priewpan’s order coincided with the volatility in which the red- and yellow shirts were gearing to resume street protests.
The yellow shirts organised two rallies last week and threatened to resume protesting if the government refused to abandon its push to enact the reconciliation bill, which many saw as a pretext to grant amnesty for ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
The red shirts are scheduled tomorrow to rally at Parliament demanding the impeachment of the Constitution Court judges. The reds want to remove the judges who issued an injunction on the parliamentary vote for the charter change.
